Swiss Cannabis Research is an association that promotes independent and scientifically grounded research into the recreational use of cannabis. Our mission is to create knowledge through evidence-based research that enables a factual and responsible discussion about cannabis. We are committed to ensuring that research, prevention and policy are built on a common scientific foundation — free of ideology and shaped by transparency and scientific rigour.

Goals
Our goal is to generate independent findings that serve as a reference point for policy, society and professionals as they work towards future-oriented regulation.
We also foster dialogue between research, healthcare and education in order to support effective prevention and information work.
In this way, we contribute to an informed public debate and to the development of frameworks that put health, responsibility and knowledge at the centre.
Support independent research and help shape the future of cannabis regulation.
